Double Major or More Science?

I'm just looking for advice on whether I should double major in two areas of business or take more science courses (science GPA of ~2.90). My two majors right now are Business Management and Production and Operations Management. (two similar majors) Since I'm a business major I only took the required prerequisites to get into dental school. I received mostly B's some A's and a handful of C's mostly because of my immaturity my freshman year of college. Now I'm just debating whether I should take classes like anatomy, microbiology, etc. Just wondering what you guys thought.

If your end-game is going to dental school, I would suggest that you choose to take additional upper-level science courses rather than attempting to add a second major. It is imperative that you get your science GPA as far above 3.0 as possible and it will obviously be more difficult to do this if you limit the # of bio courses you can take during the remainder of your undergrad career due to the time/unit constraints a 2nd major would put on you.

100% agreed!

thanks. i was thinking the same thing. i just didn't know if dental schools liked seeing students receive two degrees. but probably not if it jeopardizes their science GPA.
